you made them a logo O-o that seems a tad... odd to me... what are they? Buisnesspeoples... it might have been better to do a drawing or digital picture of sorts...
oh yeah fix the heart in the middle... or get rid of it all together, doesnt look right to me.

I like it! I don't know how you wanna fix those lines, but I suggest you trace them with the pen tool, to get a perfect result!

Just keep trying till you get it right! I don't think there's anything wrong with the heart. Keep it.

What's wrong with Photoshop's pen tool? :S Alt+click on the latest anchar point to prevent it from creating an ugly curve to the next anchar point. Or maybe you know that, sorry. :P

The lines still aren't perfectly shaped. And I'd say remove the blurry parts. And why is the font pixelated? Go through it again till everything looks PERFECT! ;)

Can't wait to see the fixed version. Love the design itself though! ;)

Looks very cool.
About the quality issues, if you can, I'd say redo the whole thing. Use what you have now as a guide, go over it with the pen tool, and create new layers to stroke and fill, rather than touching up what you have now (I'm assuming). Then you can just hide/delete the guide when you're done, with the result perfect. If you run into trouble, we can help.

hmm
well i'll continue fixing it tonight, but if it doesnt work i'll do as jsoosiah said
i aint looking forward to doing it all again though :(
Quality's a lot better, but some lines aren't perfectly curved. If you used the pen tool properly you shouldn't have gotten that... If you still have the paths, then it should be an easy fix, it'll be hell if not though. As for those shadows, they're pretty distracting and take away from the piece right now, try like a soft light blending mode, or something else with lowered opacity. Keep going, this has awesome potential.

cheers guys
i'll go over the shadows again tomoz
as for the paths, there all gone.
but tbh, i'm fairly happy with them, even though i can see the imperfections. so i'll leave them alone
might make a few highlights too

Update: i've shown it to my m8s, and she loves it, and he thinks i've got way too much time on my hands ^^
anyway, i may give it 1 last going over tomoz, and see if i can improve the lines a bit :)
